When the Seattle Mariners clinched the AL West title in September, they became the fourth team to win the division since 2015. The lone holdout has been the Los Angeles Angels, who thus badly need to make up for lost time. But instead, they don't seem to even know what year it is.
Seriously, folks, this is getting comical. The Angels were already inviting "Dig up, stupid!" jokes when they opened their offseason with a trade for Grayson Rodriguez and a free-agent deal with Alek Manoah. Then they doubled down on the second day of the Winter Meetings on Tuesday, announcing in the afternoon that they had acquired Vaughn Grissom from the Boston Red Sox.
